Abstract
Corneal techniques for enhancing near and intermediate vision to correct presbyopia include surgical and contact lens treatment modalities. Broad approaches used independently or in combination include correcting one eye for distant and the other for near or intermediate vision, (termed monovision or mini-monovision depending on the degree of anisometropia) and/or extending the eye's depth of focus [1]. This report provides an overview of the evidence for the treatment profile, safety, and efficacy of the range of corneal techniques currently available for managing presbyopia. The visual needs and expectations of the patient, their ocular characteristics, and prior history of surgery are critical considerations for patient selection and preoperative evaluation. Contraindications to refractive surgery include unstable refraction, corneal abnormalities, inadequate corneal thickness for the proposed ablation depth, ocular and systemic co-morbidities, uncontrolled mental health issues and unrealistic patient expectations. Laser refractive options for monovision include surface/stromal ablation techniques and keratorefractive lenticule extraction. Alteration of spherical aberration and multifocal ablation profiles are the primary means for increasing ocular depth of focus, using surface and non-surface laser refractive techniques. Corneal inlays use either small aperture optics to increase depth of field or modify the anterior corneal curvature to induce corneal multifocality. Presbyopia correction by conductive keratoplasty involves application of radiofrequency energy to the mid-peripheral corneal stroma which leads to mid-peripheral corneal shrinkage, inducing central corneal steepening. Hyperopic orthokeratology lens fitting can induce spherical aberration and correct some level of presbyopia. Postoperative management, and consideration of potential complications, varies according to technique applied and the time to restore corneal stability, but a minimum of 3 months of follow-up is recommended after corneal refractive procedures. Ongoing follow-up is important in orthokeratology and longer-term follow-up may be required in the event of late complications following corneal inlay surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate visual outcomes 6 years after hybrid bi-aspheric multifocal central laser in situ keratomileusis for presbyopia correction (PresbyLASIK) treatments. METHODS Thirty-eight eyes of 19 patients consecutively treated with central PresbyLASIK were assessed. The mean age of the patients was 51 ± 3 years at the time of treatment with a mean spherical equivalent refraction of -0.57 ± 1.98 diopters (D) and mean astigmatism of 0.58 ± 0.57 D. Monocular corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), corrected near visual acuity (CNVA), and distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA), and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively for the dominant eye, non-dominant eye, and binocularly. Subjective quality of vision and near vision were assessed using the 10-item, Rasch-scaled, Quality of Vision (QoV) Questionnaire and Near Activity Visual Questionnaire (NAVQ), respectively. RESULTS At 6 years postoperatively, mean binocular UDVA was 20/18 ± 4 and mean binocular UNVA and UIVA were 0.11 ± 0.13 and -0.08 ± 0.08 logRAD, respectively. Spherical equivalent showed a slow hyperopic drift of +0.10 D per year with refractive astigmatism stable from 6 weeks postoperatively. Defocus curves showed an improvement of 0.4 Snellen lines at best focus from 1 to 6 years of follow-up, reaching preoperative levels. Compared to the preoperative status, the corneal and ocular spherical aberrations (at a 6-mm diameter) decreased and were stable from 3 months of follow-up. Questionnaires revealed a postoperative unaided QoV score comparable to preoperative scores and with an improved postoperative unaided NAVQ score compared to preoperative scores with best correction. CONCLUSIONS Presbyopic treatment using a hybrid bi-aspheric micro-monovision ablation profile is safe and efficacious even after 6 years postoperatively. The postoperative outcomes indicate improvements in binocular vision at far, intermediate, and near distances. An 8% re-treatment rate should be considered to increase satisfaction levels, including a 3% reversal rate. [J Refract Surg. 2020;36(2):89-96.].

Abstract
Presbyopia is a global problem affecting over a billion people worldwide. The prevalence of unmanaged presbyopia is as high as 50% of those over 50 years of age in developing world populations, due to a lack of awareness and accessibility to affordable treatment, and is even as high as 34% in developed countries. Definitions of presbyopia are inconsistent and varied, so we propose a redefinition that states "presbyopia occurs when the physiologically normal age-related reduction in the eye's focusing range reaches a point, when optimally corrected for distance vision, that the clarity of vision at near is insufficient to satisfy an individual's requirements". Strategies for correcting presbyopia include separate optical devices located in front of the visual system (reading glasses) or a change in the direction of gaze to view through optical zones of different optical powers (bifocal, trifocal or progressive addition spectacle lenses), monovision (with contact lenses, intraocular lenses, laser refractive surgery and corneal collagen shrinkage), simultaneous images (with contact lenses, intraocular lenses and corneal inlays), pinhole depth of focus expansion (with intraocular lenses, corneal inlays and pharmaceuticals), crystalline lens softening (with lasers or pharmaceuticals) or restored dynamics (with 'accommodating' intraocular lenses, scleral expansion techniques and ciliary muscle electrostimulation); these strategies may be applied differently to the two eyes to optimise the range of clear focus for an individual's task requirements and minimise adverse visual effects. However, none fully overcome presbyopia in all patients. While the restoration of natural accommodation or an equivalent remains elusive, guidance is given on presbyopic correction evaluation techniques.

Abstract
Purpose Keratoconus is a progressive disease of the cornea which can lead to blindness as irregular astigmatism increases. Currently, a variety of methods are available for the treatment of keratoconus, and in certain cases, it may be difficult to choose the most appropriate option. This article reviews available treatment modalities for keratoconus to provide the practitioner with practical and useful information for selecting the most suitable option for each individual patient. Methods To review treatment methods for different stages of keratoconus, PubMed (United States National Library of Medicine) and Scopus (Elsevier BV) databases were searched using the keywords “keratoconus”, “contact lens”, “cross-linking”, “Intacs”, “keratoplasty”, “gene therapy”, and “irregular astigmatism”, and related articles were reviewed based on disease assessment parameters and treatment methods. Results Various methods are available for the treatment of keratoconus: eyeglasses and contact lenses in the early stages, cross-linking for stabilizing disease progression, intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) for reducing refractive errors or flattening the cornea, and penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), conductive keratoplasty, gene therapy and more recently, bowman layer transplantation (BL transplantation) in advanced stages of the disease. To achieve optimum results, it is essential to choose the best option for each individual patient. Conclusions A commonality of the reviewed papers was the advancement of novel diagnostic and treatment methods in ophthalmology, which can delay the need for corneal grafting. A better understanding of keratoconus treatment options can help enhance visual rehabilitation and prevent blindness in keratoconus patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate distance and near image quality after hybrid bi-aspheric multifocal central presbyLASIK treatments. DESIGN Consecutive case series. METHODS Sixty-four eyes of 32 patients consecutively treated with central presbyLASIK were assessed. The mean age of the patients was 51 ± 3 years with a mean spherical equivalent refraction of -1.08 ± 2.62 diopters (D) and mean astigmatism of 0.52 ± 0.42 D. Monocular corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), corrected near visual acuity (CNVA), and distance corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) of nondominant eyes; binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA); uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA); distance corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA); and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) were assessed pre- and postoperatively. Subjective quality of vision and near vision was assessed using the 10-item Rasch-scaled Quality of Vision and Near Activity Visual Questionnaire, respectively. RESULTS At 1 year postoperatively, 93% of patients achieved 20/20 or better binocular UDVA; 90% and 97% of patients had J2 or better UNVA and UIVA, respectively; 7% lost 2 Snellen lines of CDVA; Strehl ratio reduced by ∼-4% ± 14%. Defocus curves revealed a loss of half a Snellen line at best focus, with no change for intermediate vergence (-1.25 D) and a mean gain of 2 lines for near vergence (-3 D). CONCLUSIONS Presbyopic treatment using a hybrid bi-aspheric micro-monovision ablation profile is safe and efficacious. The postoperative outcomes indicate improvements in binocular vision at far, intermediate, and near distances with improved contrast sensitivity. A 19% retreatment rate should be considered to increase satisfaction levels, besides a 3% reversal rate.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy, safety, predictability, and patient satisfaction after refractive lens exchange with a zonal refractive intraocular lens (IOL) with an inferior reading addition in emmetropic patients. SETTING Optical Express, London, United Kingdom. DESIGN Retrospective case series. METHODS Emmetropic presbyopic patients who had implantation of a Lentis Mplus LS-313 MF30 IOL were evaluated. Inclusion criteria were sphere between -0.50 diopter (D) and +1.00 D with no more than 0.75 D of refractive cylinder and an uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 6/6 or better in each eye. The main outcome measures were monocular and binocular UDVA, uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and patient satisfaction. Three months data are presented. RESULTS Four hundred forty eyes of 220 patients were evaluated. The mean monocular UDVA changed from -0.04 logMAR ± 0.06 (SD) preoperatively to -0.04 ± 0.11 logMAR postoperatively (P = .39). The mean CDVA was -0.10 ± 0.05 logMAR preoperatively and -0.09 ± 0.06 logMAR postoperatively (P = .06). At 3 months, 99.7% of eyes were within ±1.00 D of emmetropia. The mean UNVA was 0.13 ± 0.14 logMAR monocularly and 0.10 ± 0.12 logMAR binocularly. On the patient satisfaction questionnaire, 91.9% of patients said the refractive procedure improved their lives and 93.5% were willing to recommend it to friends and family. Three patients requested IOL exchange because of severe night-vision phenomena or unsatisfactory quality of vision. CONCLUSION Refractive lens exchange with this zonal refractive IOL was safe in emmetropic presbyopic patients. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE Dr. Schallhorn is a consultant to Abbott Medical Optics.

Abstract
PURPOSE To discuss the various static and dynamic surgical approaches which attempt to give presbyopes good vision at far, intermediate and near viewing distances. CONTENT Static methods broadly adopt the same optical techniques as those used in presbyopic contact lens correction and aim to satisfy the needs of the presbyope by increasing binocular depth-of-focus, often using monovision as well as simultaneous-imagery. Dynamic methods generally attempt to make use of at least some of the still-active elements of the accommodation system. They include procedures which are supposed to modify the relative geometry of the ciliary muscle and lens, or which reduce the stiffness of the presbyopic lens either by replacing it with other natural or man-made material or by subjecting it to femtosecond laser treatment. Alternatively the natural lens may be replaced by some form of intraocular lens which changes power as a result of forces derived from the still-active ciliary muscle, zonule and capsule, or other sources. CONCLUSIONS At present, multifocal intraocular lenses appear to offer the most consistent and reliable surgical approach to surgical presbyopic correction. They have obvious advantages in convenience and stability over optically-similar, simultaneous-image presbyopic contact lenses but this must be balanced against their relative inflexibility in cases of patient dissatisfaction. Dynamic methods remain largely experimental. Although some approaches show promise, as yet no method has demonstrated a reliable, long-term ability to correct distance refractive error and to appropriately change ocular power in response to changes in viewing distance over the normal range of interest.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize and appraise the evidence of the benefits of presbyopic correction on the cornea for visual function. Summary Comprehensive search was conducted in MEDLINE using keywords like “presbylasik”, “presbyopic refractive surgery”, “corneal pseudoaccommodation” and “corneal multifocality”. We reviewed corrected and uncorrected visual acuities for distance and near (uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), distance corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA), corrected near visual acuity (CNVA)), along with the refractive outcomes in spherical equivalent (SE) and astigmatism comparing the differences observed between preoperative myopic and hyperopic patients, as well as among techniques. Thirty-one studies met the inclusion and quality criteria. Monovision provides excellent distance and near uncorrected acuities, but with a 17% retreatment and a 5% reversal rate. Initial multifocal ablations result in 12% loss of 2 or more lines of CDVA, and a 21% retreatment rate. Laser Blended Vision provides excellent UDVA, but with a 19% retreatment rate. Initial experiences with Supracor show moderate predictability and a 22% retreatment rate. Intracor results in 9% loss of 2 or more lines of CDVA. KAMRA provides excellent UDVA, with only a 1% retreatment rate, but a 6% reversal rate. Initial experiences with PresbyMAX provided excellent UNVA and DCNVA, showing excellent predictability and a 1% reversal rate. Conclusions The findings have implications for clinicians and policymakers in the health-care industry and emphasize the need for additional trials examining this important and widely performed clinical procedure.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the visual outcomes after implantation of a Kamra small-aperture corneal inlay into a femtosecond-created corneal pocket to treat presbyopia in patients who had previous laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). SETTING Private center, Tokyo, Japan. DESIGN Prospective interventional case series. METHODS Post-LASIK presbyopic patients had inlay implantation into a corneal pocket created by a femtosecond laser at a depth of 200 μm or 250 μm a minimum of 80 μm below the previous LASIK flap interface in the nondominant eye. Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities, near visual acuity, and a patient questionnaire on satisfaction, the use of reading glasses, and visual symptoms were evaluated. RESULTS The study enrolled 223 eyes (223 patients) with a mean age of 53.6 years (range 44 to 65 years) and a mean manifest spherical equivalent of -0.18 diopter (D) (range -1.00 to +0.50 D). The mean uncorrected distance visual acuity in the operated eye decreased 1 line from 20/16 preoperatively to 20/20 6 months postoperatively (P<.001). The mean uncorrected near visual acuity improved 4 lines from Jaeger (J) 8 to J2 (P<.001). At 6 months, significant improvements were observed in patient dependence on reading glasses and patient satisfaction with vision without reading glasses. CONCLUSION The 6-month results suggest that implantation of a small-aperture inlay in post-LASIK presbyopic patients improves near vision with a minimal effect on distance vision, resulting in high patient satisfaction and less dependence on reading glasses.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate an aspheric ablation profile to improve near vision in presbyopic patients with hyperopia and to outline the key factors of success. METHODS A prospective, nonrandomized, clinical trial of 66 eyes of 33 hyperopic patients who underwent customized bilateral refractive surgery, which included an aspheric presbyopia treatment shape and wavefront-driven hyperopic treatment, was studied. Surgeries were performed using the VISX STAR S4 or STAR S4 IR excimer laser system (Abbott Medical Optics). Mean preoperative refractive error was +1.77 ± 0.56 diopters (D) sphere (range: 0.75 to 3.50 D) with 0.41 ± 0.34 D cylinder (range: 0.00 to 1.50 D). All patients received full distance refractive correction. No patients received monovision or were intentionally left with residual myopia. Patient satisfaction results were evaluated using a questionnaire with a 5-point scale. RESULTS Sixty eyes completed 6-month and 50 eyes completed 12-month postoperative follow-up. At 6 months, mean corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was 20/20±1 line (range: 20/25 to 20/10). Mean gain in distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) was 2.7 ± 1.7 lines with a maximum of 6 lines of near. Spectacle dependence for tasks, such as reading and computer use, was reduced. At 12 months, 100% of patients had achieved binocular simultaneous uncorrected vision of 20/25 or better and J3. Refraction was stable over 12 months. Contrast sensitivity reduction was clinically insignificant (1 step or 0.15 logCS). Negative spherical aberration highly correlated with postoperative improvement of DCNVA. Patients who had a larger amount of preoperative hyperopia or a greater decrease of preoperative DCNVA were more likely to have overall satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS The aspheric ablation designed to expand near functional vision was effective and stable over 12 months. The wavefront-customized hyperopic treatment significantly reduced spectacle dependence.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the use of topography-guided conductive keratoplasty in eyes with keratoconus. DESIGN Interventional case series. METHODS We examined 21 eyes in 21 patients with advanced keratoconus. Topography-guided conductive keratoplasty was performed with intraoperative monitoring of corneal astigmatism using a surgical keratometer. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), corneal topography, manifest refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal endothelial cell counts, complications, and eventual outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS UCVA (logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution [logMAR]), which was 1.65 ± 0.49 preoperatively, improved to 1.04 ± 0.64 at 1 week (P < .001) and 1.12 ± 0.61 at 1 month after surgery (P < .001). BSCVA, which was 1.02 ± 0.56 preoperatively, improved to 0.76 ± 0.65 at 1 week (P = .026) and 0.76 ± 0.60 at 1 month after surgery (P = .003). Manifest refraction, which was -15.13 ± 6.66 diopters (D) before surgery, declined to -9.97 ± 6.71 D at 1 month after surgery (P = .002). Although corneal topography reverted to the preoperative pattern and UCVA and BSCVA also regressed toward preoperative values, 12 of 21 eyes were better able to tolerate and conduct normal daily activities using contact lenses. Five subjects have undergone or are considering corneal transplantation after unsatisfactory postoperative results. No serious perioperative complication was observed. CONCLUSIONS Topography-guided conductive keratoplasty may be effective in reshaping corneal configuration in eyes with keratoconus, without serious complications, and possibly contributed to avoiding or delaying corneal transplantation.

Abstract
PURPOSE to investigate the refractive outcomes and stability of conductive keratoplasty (CK) for retreatment of myopic LASIK overcorrection. METHODS seven eyes (six patients) that were overcorrected after myopic LASIK by +1.00 to +2.75 diopters (D) manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) were retreated using CK. All eyes had insufficient stromal thickness for LASIK retreatment. LightTouch CK was performed at least 1 year after LASIK. Either 8 or 16 spots were applied at 7- and/or 8-mm zones on the cornea. Uncorrected distance visual acuity, manifest refraction, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and postoperative complications were analyzed. RESULTS mean MRSE after CK at last follow-up was +0.38 ± 0.52 D (range: -0.38 to +1.13 D). The change in MRSE ranged from -0.63 to -2.38 D. Mean MRSE after CK changed from -0.60 ± 2.07 D (range: -3.38 to +1.50 D) at 1 week to +0.45 ± 0.69 D (range: -0.38 to +1.38 D) at 12 months. Two eyes experienced an initial overcorrection of -2.75 D and -3.38 D, respectively, at 1 week after CK. Cylinder ≤0.75 D was induced in four eyes, whereas one eye had a 0.75-D reduction in cylinder. All eyes had CDVA of logMAR 0.10 or better. Two eyes lost one line of CDVA and no eyes lost more than one line. CONCLUSIONS lighttouch CK retreatment for over-corrected myopic LASIK can reduce the hyperopia but produces minimal change in cylinder, and may be appropriate for eyes with insufficient stromal tissue for repeated excimer laser surgery. Early regression occurs commonly.
